ZAMBOANGA CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines — Tausug 'ukkil' artist Rameer Tawasil, who died on June 6, left behind a body of work that greatly contributed to the development of indigenous arts and heritage in the country. Friends and artists he mentored wished he would be honored as such. Neldy Jolo, Tawasil's artist friend who teaches history and foreign languages at Mindanao State University, used to fondly call him 'Rameeta,' a portmanteau of his full name Rameer Tawasil, but which had a deeper meaning in different languages of the world.
